The Importance of Parents in Youth Ministry

In the past 10 years or so, there has been a healthy reevaluation of how churches do youth ministry. Increasingly, the focus has turned to the importance of parents in the spiritual discipleship of their children. In this helpful seven-minute video posted at The Gospel Coalition, three youth ministers discuss the topic “Don't Outsource Your Kids to Youth Group.” An interesting statistic noted at the beginning of the video states: "Seventy percent of kids who go through youth ministry will not continue with the church after high school." https://vimeo.com/73701365
